History:
Only myths and roamers of the Captains life before piracy exist. What has been accepted as the "truist" story of the Captains past is he was born in the Afukira deserts to 2 farmers and 2 older brothers. Sometime around the age of 12 the farm his parents owned was attacked by pirates, and his father was killed. It is assumed that either his mother was captured, or could have escaped the pirates. The 2 of his brothers and him ran into the desert and started a home. His older brothers started there lives in piracy, and it wasn't long before he followed them. Starting as simply a powder-monkey, he moved through his ranks until he and his 2 brothers found themselves in the care of the pirate captain that killed their father.
Against there better judgment, the Thackerays obeyed the captain. But, during a raid on a village, both of Thackerays brothers fell overboard... He watched as they fell to the earth below them to there deaths. Because of this, Thackeray was driven mad and attacked the captain, killing him with his own pistol. He was only 16.
In shock and awe, the crew watched as Thackeray killed there captain... From here, the crew pledged loyalty to him, and obeyed his every command to the letter. And so started the legend of Captain Thackeray III...
For almost 20 years Thackeray ruled over the pirates with no mercy. Those who didnt obey him were killed, and any who didnt fire when told were also killed... But it is said all of that changed when he met a girl, a Charr like himself, during a raid. He took petty on her, and took care of her, unlike the other prisoners he would love to mercilessly beat just for fun. The girl and him soon fell in love... And conceded a child. During the pregnancy, she saw Thackeray change from a brutal tyrant to a kind and understanding gentleman. But this was short lived. Once the baby was born, she pleaded for him to leave his life of piracy and move on... But it was something he wouldn't do. With a heavy heart, she fled from Thackeray, leaving they're daughter Elizabeth with him. Now responsible for a child, the raids started to come to an end, the murders, the killings, the robbery's all reached an all-time low. At the age of 19, Elizabeth and her father fought side by side in there hunt for more booty, and the pirates were on a rise once more.
With the loving, caring, heart of his daughter, Thackeray was unbeatable.
But all good things must come to an end, some say. On day they got a tip from an anonymous villager about a raid that would make every pirate set for a lifetime. Imperial Gold was being shipped from one fort to another, and it was ripe for the taking. With a full scale invasion they flocked after the gold, ripping through the heavily defended caravan to get there prize... But they never got that far. It was a trap.
Before anyone could see, they pirates were outnumbered by the Imperials. Thackeray was smart, and surrendered before more bloodshed. Promising to surrender himself for the safety of his crew and of his daughter, Thackeray walked onto the Imperial Command ship. They didnt keep they're... Qwickly they stormed onto his ship, taking his daughter onto the capital ship. Then fired upon Thackerays ship... Shooting it out of the sky. Helplessly, he watched as his ship and crew died in a fiery explosion. Thinking the worst was over, he was shocked as his daughter was taken below deck... And he was kicked overboard to his death..
To this day, it is unknown how he lived. But now, he fights to find his daughter, no matter the cost, and no matter the price...
